“I was pleased overall with the first 35 minutes of the game and holding Duke to 20 points for [the first] half. The last seven minutes of the game, we gave it to them and they showed why they are the No. 2 team in the nation.”
“We talked about it at the half, that we had too many turnovers, that we need to be smarter with the ball. Not to be cautious, but be smarter with our passes and come hard to the ball. There's going to be a lot of slapping and reaching, some of it may be called or not be called, but we had to be more aggressive with the ball.”
“Our players think they can play with anyone, I mean, you look at some of our losses to the No. 6 team [Maryland] and the No. 2 team [Duke] in the country, we were playing very well.”
